HansGT Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Looks nice....very Lexus-ish. Guessing we'll see it in 2010. From what I've read, power plant bumps up from 2.3L to 2.5L turbo 4. 280HP range. (Hmm 2.5L, who else does that...hmm) Will be AWD again, not sure if the same set up or not as the previous model. Anyway...something to watch. I'll be interested as it's a larger sedan than the current LGT and with a growing family....yah need room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 *if* they actually make this, don't expect it to come to the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmp Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 ...I'd think they'd do a power-hike, too? 280hp is what it's got now. Hopefully, regardless of peak, they fix the anemic high-end power of that engine/set up. SOLD | '06 spec.B - VF52/AVO/740cc/Up/Down | 238awhp | 50-80mph 3.1 seconds.

camber Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 North America won't be getting this car anytime soon. The new USDM Mazda 6, is different then what the rest of world gets. The old MS6 was rated under the previous SAE power rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 isnt the new mazda6 too large for a 25.L 4cyl? I mean sure if the powers there fine, but.. I would think a car that large would be healthier with a supercharged 6 and about 350-400hp.. they fatten the body but leave the heart the same size..

05GT Guru Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 With AWD that car looks like it would come out to 3700lbs, where 280hp aint really shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edkwon Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Aren't those photos of the JDM car, and its established that the USDM Madza 6 is a different car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmp Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 The old MS6 was rated under the previous SAE power rules. Shouldn't change too much. 280hp from the new one one be (peak) more than 10 more than previous. SOLD | '06 spec.B - VF52/AVO/740cc/Up/Down | 238awhp | 50-80mph 3.1 seconds.

edkwon Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Looks like the larger USDM model to me. Then why does it have JDM Atenza badges on the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 With AWD that car looks like it would come out to 3700lbs, where 280hp aint really shit. You can then say the same about the current Legacy. Do some math. Out of the box, better power to weight ratio than the Legacy. '09 LGT (MT): 3428/243hp = 14.1lbs./hp '09 LGT (B): 3543/243hp = 14.5lbs./hp '10?MS6: 3700/280hp = 13.2lbs./hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looks better in pictures. I first thought in is an Impala but the resemblance is close enough...especially since it is a BIG BULKY car.

camber Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Looks like the larger USDM model to me. We won't be getting an MS6 that the rest of the world has. It's going to be tough to sell a small mazda, with less powerful engine(it's not 280 HP, it's 280 PS<-which is the gentleman's restriction on power for japanese cars). Compared to the bigger American model, which has a 272 HP V6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edkwon Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 looks the same size to me... They look similar but every UK and US auto journal have said despite similar stylings, the US car and JP/European car are different sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed 100% I stopped by the dealership and looked at them last week. Impala was exactly came to my mind. I didn't even get out of the car....
